Namesake town ...


Quanah, Texas was named for Chief Quanah Parker. He called Quanah

“my town,” and he called the Quanah,

Acme & Pacific “my railroad.” In 1890, he  gave the town his blessing:


May the God of the White Man bless the town of Quanah.

My the sun shine and the rain fall and the granaries be filled.

May the storm and the tempest shun the homes of her people, and may they

increase and dwell forever.  God bless Quanah.  Subetu ma.

I have spoken.

Quanah, Texas
